Contract Coaches and Service Buses 

If you live more than three miles from the school which the County Council (KCC) has designated as the nearest appropriate school, you can claim free transport to that school.  Usually, you will be given a season ticket for public transport or offered a seat on a bus hired by the Country Council.  The distance is measured by the shortest walking route.

The Admissions and Transport Team at KCC give advice about bus travel and issue bus passes.
